An analysis of Destructoid’s Twitter word clouds

‘Haha’

Recommended Videos

In this industry, Twitter is key. A lot of appointments are made and stories are scooped on the bite-sized social network. We talk on Twitter a lot. Sometimes, it’s even about videogames.

There is a bot out there under the handle @wordnuvola, and it specializes in reading a person’s tweets, tabulating word usage, and using the data to create word clouds that allow a viewer to visualize it all. The more frequently a word is used, the larger it appears in the word cloud.

With these, you might get to know us better. Who should you follow and who should you avoid? Find out below!
